Chad Hennings Chad Hennings Although best known for his role with America’s Team, Chad Hennings’ successful career began long before his professional football career. An accomplished lineman in high school, Hennings was offered full scholarships from universities across the nation. However, he chose to attend the U.S. Air Force Academy, where he racked up numerous honors academically and on the gridiron. Those honors include: Most Valuable Athlete at the Academy, defensive player of the year honors from the Western Athletic Conference, WAC’s All-Decade Team, 1987 Outland Trophy (given to the country’s most outstanding lineman), MVP at 1988 Freedom Bowl, 2x Academic All-American, inducted into the GTE Academic All- American Hall of Fame. His exemplary achievements put him at the top of many draft lists and earned him a spot on the Dallas Cowboys’ roster, but Hennings postponed his entry into the NFL to fulfill his commitment to the U.S. Air Force. He entered the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program, a training program for top pilots, and soon found himself at the controls of the A-10 Thunderbolt. During his four-year stint with the Air Force, Hennings flew 45 missions in support of Operation Provide Support in Northern Iraq, receiving two aerial achievement medals, a humanitarian award and outstanding unit award for his actions in service. After his discharge, Hennings joined the Dallas Cowboys in a starting position as a defensive lineman. He spent his entire 9 year professional career with the Dallas Cowboys, retiring in 2001 with three Super Bowl rings. Chad is president of Hennings Management Corp. a management and consulting company. He is also a principal in TRW, a real estate development company. He and his wife Tammy are the proud parents of a son Chase and a daughter Brenna. His dedication to children extends beyond his own family as he serves on the board of directors for Happy Hill Farm Academy/Home, a residential school /farm for at-risk kids.

  • Fort Worth Star-Telegram (TX) COWBOYS Vs. FLYBOYS They
    Fort Worth Star-Telegram (TX) July 30, 2000 Section: NEWS Edition: FINAL Page: 1 COWBOYS vs. FLYBOYS They share a passion for competition and a desire to win By Sonny Bohanan Star-Telegram Staff Writer Hundreds of fans pressed against the chain-link fence, shouting "Emmitt, Emmitt," but the object of their attentions, No. 22, walked past without so much as turning his head. "They're so arrogant," a woman said as running back Emmitt Smith ignored fans begging for autographs at the Dallas Cowboys training camp. "They wouldn't have these million-dollar salaries if it wasn't for the fans, but they seem to forget that." Arrogance? There is an ample supply of it each summer in Wichita Falls, where the Cowboys have taken up residence for their past three preseason camps. Not only are the Cowboys among the best and highest-paid athletes in their profession, but America's team is one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the world. Long before the Cowboys descended on The Falls, the city was home to a group of professionals who rival even the Cowboys in swagger and self-assurance. Sheppard Air Force Base is a training ground for fighter pilots, the large-living aviators made famous by Tom Wolfe in his book The Right Stuff. Each year, 22-year-old college graduates walk into Sheppard's 80th Flying Training Wing for Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training. With only a handful of hours in a Cessna under their belts, they will fly their first jets within a couple of months, break the sound barrier six months later, and walk out with their Air Force wings after 13 months.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WERNER ENTERPRISES OUTLAND TROPHY AWARD DINNER SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 9, 2019 For the 22nd consecutive year, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) has awarded Omaha the Outland Trophy Award Dinner presentation. This year the Werner Enterprises Outland Trophy Award Dinner will be held Wednesday, January 9, 2019, at the Downtown DoubleTree Hotel, Omaha, Nebraska. The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards announced on ESPN Thursday, Dec. 6, from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA, that Quinnen Williams from the University of Alabama, is the winner of the 2018 Outland Trophy. This year’s winner and his coach will be in attendance at the Dinner on January 9th. Quinnen Williams, NG, Alabama (6-4, 295, So., Birmingham, AL): The upstart sophomore leads unbeaten Alabama with 14.0 tackles for loss for minus-58 yards and is tied for 11th in the SEC with 5.0 sacks. He too posted a career game against LSU, tallying career highs in tackles (10) and sacks (2.5) and tying a career high in tackles for loss (3.5). Williams clogs the middle and allows those around him to create havoc – Alabama has had at least 10 tackles for loss in five of 10 games and in three straight. The Crimson Tide's 36 sacks (3.60 per game) are both tied for No. 3 nationally. The FWAA awarded the Outland Trophy Award Dinner to the Greater Omaha Sports Committee in 1997. Since that time the Sports Committee has presented the Outland Trophy to Aaron Taylor – NU (’97), Kris Farris –UCLA (’98), Chris Samuels –Alabama (’99), John Henderson

  • Outland Trophy, Which Is More Or Less the Lineman’S Heisman
    THE COFFIN CORNER, Vol. 19, No. 6 (1997) THE OUTLANDERS About this time of year, when a sportswriter wants to point out the obvious, he usually writes a column showing that Heisman Trophy winners are sometimes unsuccessful as pros. Then he’ll get a spate of disagreeable letters continuing the assault on the obvious noting that the Heisman is not awarded to the “best pro prospect.” Or that some great college backs are just too small to make good pros (Doak Walker, take note). Or that a great college back may be great because of his versatility whereas the pros want specialists (Doak Walker, take note again). Or that injuries were a factor in a star’s failure to shine. Or that the writer is an idiot anyway. I’ve never seen the same pro and con arguments advanced re-the Outland Trophy, which is more or less the Lineman’s Heisman. I’m sure it’s just part of the sportsworld’s neverending attempt to render linemen faceless, anonymous, and inconsequential. In reality, of course, linemen are the most important men on the field (not counting the back judge when your team is making a late drive to tie). Teams can win without great runners, receivers, or even great quarterbacks, but you can count the teams with sub-par lines AND winning records on Captain Hook’s bad hand. Here are the Outland winners through last year. Draw your own conclusions. -- BC OUTLAND TROPHY WINNERS YEAR PLAYER SCHOOL POS Draft Rnd ProBowl CAREER 1996 Orlando Pace Ohio State OT 1 - - 1995 Orlando Pace Ohio State OT - - - 1994 Zach Wiegert Nebraska OT 2 - 1995-96 STL 1993
